We’ve Got Your Back is a key program from Oh My People that helps people return to work and reintegrate after long-term absence. We support employees, leaders, teams, and organisations at every stage, from prevention and policy to a lasting return to work, always in line with Belgian law.
Coming back after a long sick leave involves more than just choosing a date
It takes planning, open conversations, and a culture where people feel safe to talk. In fact, the process begins from the very first day, well before anyone leaves work. With the right support and clear agreements at every step, no one has to go through it alone.
Many organisations struggle with return to work because they only see one side of the issue. We understand both the care and business perspectives, and we work to connect them.
Because of stricter pay laws, acting quickly and effectively when someone is absent now saves employers money. A strong reintegration policy shortens absences, lowers legal risk, and builds trust in your organisation. How you treat returning employees also shows new talent what kind of employer you are, often more than any job ad.
Returning to work yourself?
Getting back to work after a long break can be challenging. The Back to Work Fund gives you access to professional support that fits your needs, energy, and pace. As a recognised service provider, Oh My People guides you step by step toward work that suits you and lasts.
Return to work on four levels
Anyone returning to work never does so alone.
Organisation
The question we askHow many employees in your organisation go on long-term absence each year, and how many of them return sustainably?
We help you create a reintegration policy that follows the law and that people trust, not just a checklist.
Leadership
The question we askDo your leaders know how to approach an employee on long-term absence, both before and after their return?
We offer leadership training on long-term absence and a successful return to work, along with a peer learning program.
Team
The question we askIs your team prepared for a colleague’s return, or do they only hear about it on the first day back?
We provide reboarding support and help teams develop a shared communication approach, so the team becomes the first line of support.
Individual
The question we askWhen was the last time you asked an employee what they need to return to work, at their own pace?
We offer a personalised return-to-work program for employees coming back after a long absence. It moves at their pace and respects their needs and boundaries, either in-house or through the Back to Work Fund.
